"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
Ronald Reagan

True to some extent. But this coming generation is different. We may appreciate our freedom, but not as much as we note the lack of freedom in others. We do not limit liberty on a state-by-state basis, and we will not take the freedom of others by force to supplement our own. We will battle for freedom not against each other, but against our own prejudice and greed, for it is we who now oppress and thieve the liberty of others that in turn leads them down the same path.
As much as we appreciate what has been given to us, it is a gift that would be best put to use rather than left to stagnate while others grow envious.

I didn't really like Reagan, but this is spot on.
